Answer:

The dolphin is five feet in the air after about 0.22 and 1.40 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height <em>h</em> (in feet) of the dolphin as it jumped out of the water after <em>t</em> seconds is given by the function:

h(t)=-16t^2+26t

We want to determine the time(s) when the dolphin is five feet in the air.

Since the dolphin is five feet in the air, h(t) = 5:

5=-16t^2+26t

Solve for t. Rearrange:

16t^2-26t+5=0

We can use the quadratic formula, given by:

\displaystyle t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, a = 16, b = -26, and c = 5.

Substitute:

\displaystyle t=\frac{-(-26)\pm\sqrt{(-26)^2-4(16)(5)}}{2(16)}

Evaluate:

\displaystyle t=\frac{26\pm\sqrt{356}}{32}

Simplify the square root:

\sqrt{356}=\sqrt{2\cdot 2\cdot 89}=2\sqrt{89}

Hence:

\displaystyle t=\frac{26\pm2\sqrt{89}}{32}

Simplify:

\displaystyle t=\frac{13\pm\sqrt{89}}{16}

Hence, our solutions are:

\displaystyle t=\frac{13-\sqrt{89}}{16}\approx 0.22\text{ and } t=\frac{13+\sqrt{89}}{16}\approx1.40

The dolphin is five feet in the air after about 0.22 and 1.40 seconds.

Slope is rise/run
so, you go up 4 times and run across 3 times, this is a positive slope, so the slope is
slope: 4/3
the y-intercept is the line that passes the y-axis, (0, -5),
y-intercept: -5

put it together
4/3x-5
